The Development of the Multi-Leg Robot for Applying to the Technology Education Fields

기술교육 분야에 적용하기 위한 다족로봇의 개발

The purpose of this study is to develop the multi-leg robot(MLR) for creative activities of the technology education fields. For the development of the MLR an operating program for moving or controlling the MLR, and a assembly manual of the electrical type was developed. The results show that MLR can be used technology program from elementary school to high school. The controller is available for multipurpose board to check and moving the servo motor. Also, the controller developed is better than commercial products because of the open source code and multi-function. The operating program can control the various motions by directly moving the screen bar and by storage function up to nine boards simultaneously. Students can easily assemble and connecting the MLR by using the user friendly e-assembly manual developed by 3D. As the MLR is consist of a series of six leg as well as several different shapes based on the wheels and the tracks, it can be used not learning by curriculum at school but learning by extracurriculum for after school. Also, students are improved the creative think for dealing with the MLR. The MLR can be used the various purpose like gifted education and invent class for creative activities. Therefore, the development effects of the MLR would be increased students creativity.
